Louis Selkirk worked for 19 years at Duke Energy before his termination in 2005. He says he was singled out for not meeting a weight requirement for his job.

Selkirk also claimed a foreman referred to him with a racial slur.

The trial concluded on Monday, when a jury of eight ruled in favor of Duke Energy.

Sally Thelen, spokesperson for Duke told WLWT, "We are pleased with the outcome of the case and remain committed to equal opportunity employment and would like to re-iterate, that the company does not tolerate discrimination of any kind."
